2 Bedroom Flat

Castle Malwood Lodge By Marco Harris - Nestled within the heart of the New Forest National Park, this exceptional two-bedroom second-floor apartment occupies part of an elegant Grade II Listed former hunting lodge, originally commissioned in 1890 by Sir William Harcourt. Combining period charm with contemporary comforts, the property enjoys a truly unique setting with direct access to beautiful forest walks and stunning views across the surrounding grounds.

Accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance and staircase, the apartment welcomes you into a spacious entrance hall complete with useful storage and airing cupboards. The impressive dual-aspect sitting room is flooded with natural light and offers delightful views across the grounds and neighbouring forest. Character features blend seamlessly with modern finishes, creating a warm and inviting living space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with extensive worktop space and a range of integrated appliances, providing both style and practicality. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture, while the second double bedroom offers flexible accommodation for guests, family members or those working from home. A particular highlight of the property is the beautifully appointed bathroom, featuring a striking freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower enclosure, vanity unit and elegant tiling throughout, creating a luxurious retreat.

Externally, residents enjoy access to attractive communal gardens and ample communal parking, all set within a peaceful woodland environment.

Minstead is one of the New Forest's most picturesque and desirable villages, offering a charming village hall, traditional pub, popular tea room and an abundance of walking, cycling and riding routes right on the doorstep. The nearby centres of Lyndhurst, Bartley, Copythorne and Bramshaw provide further amenities, whilst excellent transport links offer convenient access to Southampton, Winchester and beyond.

Agent's Comment

Lyndhurst has always been one of my favourite locations within the New Forest. There's a real charm to the village, with its independent cafés, boutiques and welcoming atmosphere, whilst being surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside the area has to offer. Whether it's a morning walk through the forest or simply enjoying the village lifestyle, it's easy to see why so many people are drawn to this special part of the New Forest.
